The BEST library I've been to so far. Any time I needed assistance the librarians were helpful, they assisted me and resolved my problem. Theres a wide selection of books and computers, as well as WIFI. My only complaints are: 1.theres only one copy/printing machine which runs out of paper a lot. 2. Theres only 1 or 2 bathrooms and 3. the children story time on saturdays starts too early and is just 30 minutes. Also the electrical outlets they have on the table for people to charge their laptops/phones don't work only 1 or 2 work on each table which makes it hard to charge my laptop. My last complaint is sometimes there are noisy kids there. If they can fix and improve those things the library will be even better. Overall the librarians at this library are very kind and helpful

Okay library, sadly the time I was there at noon on a Wednesday there was a group of very disruptive teens. I was surprised the staff didn't bring it to their attention to keep it down. Also it was obvious they were cutting school. They shouldn't have been allowed in during school hours to hang out and be disruptive. Other people were there to study or work on assignment. Was very upset bc I was trying to do work and even with headphone they could be heard. If it wasn't for them it would've been a good place. Staff needs to be strict when it comes to rowdy unsupervised kids and rowdy teens.

Son muy racistas preguntas algo y te contestan de mal gana y en las actividades para niños pequeños también lleve a mi hijo de 2 años y la mujer dijo no puede estar aquí su hijo. es sólo para bebés a tres años y le dije mi hijo tiene 2 años,la mujer puso cara de simio y dijo no.mi hijo agarrado un juguete pues la mujer fue se lo arrebató me dio una rabia que la quería agarrar de las greñas.

It is a small library but they have a good selection and staff is very helpful. 8 adult desktop computers. They have a lot of laptops but not currently available due to COVID. They are allowing guests in to use desktops and to get books. Returns can be dropped off in the lobby without entering the book area. Books on hold are also in the lobby & can be checked out there.

Es una biblioteca pequeña, pero cuenta con tres pasillos de libros en español. Si no hablas inglés, te buscan una persona que habla perfecto español y que te va a ayudar a sacarte el carnet de la biblioteca. Cuentan con clases de computación por las tardes y otras actividades. También tienen computadoras que puedes usar. Es un sitio acogedor para leer y disfrutar.

A most beautiful learning center for All! It helps everyone to read, commune, and learn new ideas. It even assist our returning citizens with valuable programs and resources. As I say, for ALL! Go, just go. And while there, pick up the new editions of the Jay Z limited library cards.

  • David Sanchez

I've been going here since I was 10. A great place to sit back and read a book. They always have activities for all ages and some of the friendliest people you'll ever know. Now I'm going on 30 and I still find myself coming back here when I really need to take care of me time.

  • Geraldine Batista

Yesterday I went and got the Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life special edition card for The Book of Hov 2023 it was a very pleasant experience, the librarians were helpful and so kind they really make the library a wonderful place to go! Thank you again !

  • J Garrett

I went there as a child in the 80s and it was the most magical place for me. They offered many programs in the Summer. The best memory I have is a magic show and how the staff was to everyone. Today I am a teacher with a masters degree.

  • Cami D

Great place with a large selection of books and computers are plentiful. Its an air condition building and they offer lots of activities for the children.

  • Ashley Dufour

Often have computer problems, staff isn't always the nicest or most helpful. Decent if you really need a place to print/use a computer briefly.

Some problems on occasion, but, for the most part, a most needed and very helpful resource for the community!
